Chapter 275.2
About a day and a half later, he caught up with Lin Beifans Dragon Boat and immediately clung to his legs, pleading with snot and tears, Your Majesty, you must help me this time. My life depends on you!
Lin Beifan kicked him away, Get lost! How old are you, still crying and wailing while clinging to my legs? If you were a young woman, that would be one thing, but youre just an old man. Isnt that disgusting?
Being disgusting is still better than being dead!
Empty Hand Master then explained the whole situation.
Your Majesty, that Life-Taking Rakshasa from the Green Garment Tower is truly hateful! They even resorted to poisoning To recruit me! Without the antidote, Ill be dead in 5 more days! Your Majesty, I cant work for you if I die! I cant bear to leave you Empty Hand Master continued crying and wailing.
Enough, enough, stop with the pity act! You just want Wanqing to cure you, right? Isnt that enough if I tell her to look at you? Lin Beifan looked towards Liu Wanqing.
After examining him, Liu Wanqing said with a serious face, This poison is indeed difficult to cure, and I only have a thirty percent chance of success. But if it fails, you could die from the poison, and not even gods could save you!
Empty Hand Master brightened up, A thirty percent chance is still better than none!
A day later, Liu Wanqing emerged from her room, looking exhausted with three pills in her hand, These are the detoxification pills I just made. After taking them, theres a thirty percent chance they will cure the poison in your body.
Great! Thank you, Miss Liu. I will be eternally grateful if I survive this great disaster! Empty Hand Master took the pills.
He immediately popped one into his mouth.
Lin Beifan muttered to himself, Upgrade!
The pill flashed once, and then he swallowed it down.
Moments later, the Empty Hand Masters face turned dark, and then with a retch, he vomited a mouthful of black blood.
As the black blood came out, his complexion quickly turned rosy and he appeared much more spirited.
Im cured! The poison is gone, haha! Empty Hand Master cheered jubilantly.
He had thought he was going to die, but unexpectedly, there was light at the end of the tunnel. Truly a blessing from the heavens!
He resolved to burn three sticks of incense in gratitude to the heavens later.
Even Liu Wanqing was extremely surprised: Its healed so quickly! From what I know, it should take at least a day and a night to detoxify, and the process should definitely not be this easy!
Whats so surprising about that?
Lin Beifan said with a smile: Perhaps your method of detoxification was accidentally the right one! Or maybe the poison of the Seven Insects Bone Attachment is not as formidable as the legends say!
Indeed, indeed! Empty Hand Master nodded repeatedly.
At that moment, Lin Beifan dipped his fan into the black blood that Empty Hand Master had spat out and touched it to Empty Hand Masters skin.
Then, Empty Hand Master was poisoned once again.
Empty Hand Master was dumbfounded: Your Majesty, what are you doing?
Lin Beifan smiled and said: Since the poison is harmless to you now, why not take advantage of the situation and join the Green Garment Tower? In doing so, youll have the chance to probe the reality of the Green Garment Tower and also seek revenge. Isnt that wonderful?
But its very dangerous! Your Majesty, can I not do this task Empty Hand Master hesitated.
Is it not dangerous if you dont join?
Lin Beifan countered: That Life-Taking Rakshasa will definitely come after you again if she finds out youve cured the poison! At that time, we wont be able to control what methods she employs! You used to be a thief; you should know that one can be a thief for a thousand days, but you cant guard against a thief for a thousand days, right?
Empty Hand Masters face showed a mix of emotions.
He had to admit Lin Beifans words made a lot of sense.
He would be at their mercy if the enemy came after him again.
It was better to take the initiative and possibly secure a chance of survival.
After all, he had the antidote and could escape at any time.
Fine! Ill take on this task! Empty Hand Master said through gritted teeth.
Seven days passed quickly.
Empty Hand Master arrived as promised, looking at the confident Life-Taking Rakshasa with a sickly expression: I agree to join the Green Garment Tower. Wheres the antidote?
Dont worry, we will naturally give you the antidote later after youve achieved a few great feats for our Green Garment Tower!
Empty Hand Master became anxious: But without the antidote, how will I survive tomorrow?
Take this!
Life-Taking Rakshasa took out a small bottle and said: This contains insect pills that can control the poison in your body. One pill can last a week, and there are enough pills in this bottle for three months!
Empty Hand Master took the bottle, seemingly having anticipated all this, and continued with a sickly expression: What do you want me to do?
I want you to steal the divine weapon, Murderous Green, from the Taoist Sect for our tower! said Life-Taking Rakshasa.
